Essential to Clean the Cases Charging Port
Now, this becomes very important to clean your Air Pods charging port.
Do you know? Charging ports attract a lot of dirt or get the lint in, actually when you make your Air Pods case sit in your jean’s pockets. As at the bottom of pockets lint resides.
Pro-tip:
Ensure that you do not use anything wet or of metal as this could be the reason of a short circuit which may lead to your Air Pod damage.
Easy cleaning steps:
- Take a steady toothpick or a brush.
- Scrape the dirt out.
- Now connect, your lighting cable to see if it is charging.
If your problem is not solved then you should try the next step:
Do not use a Different Cable
In this particular step I would urge you to change the cable which you are using to charge the case.
Assure that the cable you are using for your Air Pods is MFi- certified (“Made for iPhone/iPod/iPad”), as absence of this may be the reason of the problem.
By any means if you are using a fake cable then there will be connectivity issues over the MFi certified cables.
With the switch lightning cable, you can examine whether your lighting case is charging or not.
The punch line is, do not use off-brand cables.
Still things do not work…..skip to the last step:
Do not use an Extension
In place of using an extension cord for charging your lighting cable, try to switch to a wall socket instead.
‘No brainer’ if there is any issue with your extension cord, then stop charging your case immediately.
After plugging it into the wall socket, this will start to charge automatically.
Check your Connections
Ensure that the USB cable is securely plugged into the USB power adapter and charging case. Ensure that the
Power adapter is properly plugged-in a power outlet.
If still you are facing any AirPods case charging issues, then contact APPLE SUPPORT.
